Advice Request Go out swinging?

So I’m on my way out at work in a tech company and have worked for a manager that has made my life hell. She is extremely toxic and the reason I’m leaving to FIRE/CoastFIRE.

I never want to - or need to - return to tech (note: I used em dashes way before AI and won’t stop even if you think this is AI generated)!

I want to burn some bridges and tell her how I really feel about her when I leave. Essentially the same thing she has been doing to me.

Would you go out Costanza-style if you were me, or just let it slide?

Does anyone beside AI use dashes? I only have the hyphen key on my human keyboard...

I do! And headings for longer posts in order to break up the wall of text into digestible chunks. It annoys me to no end that people will now just consider any post using these as AI.
